Pyramid has invested a lot in the joint pylonsproject.org website. I don't think we want to rip it up to create a separate Pyramid site. But perhaps we can adjust the wording on the home page and the main documentation page to address this confusion. I come from a Pylons background so I focus on documentation for users transitioning from Pylons. Most of our initial users came from either a Pylons or BFG background -- or they'd heard about Pylons for years without using it -- and the first thing they want to know is how Pyramid relates to these frameworks. But maybe now there's a new generation of users who don't have a either Pylons or a BFG background, who find all the history and non-Pyramid alternatives distracting. If so... again, I don't think we want to rip the manual and website apart to address it. But maybe the documentation intro or a supplemental doc can start with what Pyramid *is*, now, standalone, and then at the end mention how the alternatives relate to it. -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
